Trauma, grief, and empowerment: A guide to psychotherapy during the Trump era

Trauma, grief, and empowerment: A guide to psychotherapy during the Trump era​Saturday, December 9th 10 am to 1 pm $35

Much of the world is traumatized by our president. Healthcare, climate, racism, financial attacks on working and middle class people, and the inflamed rhetoric that excuses violence and discrimination are distressing many of our clients, our social worlds, and ourselves. This workshop is directed at giving you tools to self-soothe, cope, and mobilize to deal with your distress and that of your clients and your world. We'll look at self-care, useful actions, and therapeutic issues in the Age of Trump.

Robin Shapiro, LICSW, edited and contributed to EMDR Solutions: Pathways to Healing (Norton, 2005) and EMDR Solutions II: Depression, Eating Disorders, Performance & More (2009) and wrote Trauma Treatments Handbook (2010), and Easy Ego State Interventions (2016). She loves her writing, doing presentations about ego states, EMDR topics, and suicide prevention, doing clinical consultation, and her thirty-six years of psychotherapy practice, especially around issues of trauma, anxiety, and attachment. Political and cultural issues have been an important focus of Robin's work since her days (early 80's) running a day treatment program for Seattle Counseling Services for Sexual Minorities.
